Unit 2 English around the world第一节：语法填空In Canada and the United States, people enjoy 1_ (entertain) at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation. Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their homes: Would you like 2_ (come) over for dinner on Saturday night?Hey, we 3_ (have) a party on Friday. Can you come? To reply to an invitation (回应邀请), either say thank you and accept (接受) , or say youre sorry and give an excuse: Thanks, Id love to. What time would you like me to come? or Oh, sorry. Ive tickets 4_a movie. Sometimes, 5_, people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example: Please come over for a drink sometime.Why not get together for a party sometime? Why 6_(do) you come over and see us sometime soon? They are really just polite way of 7_(end) a conversation. They are not real invitations because they dont mention (提到) a specific (确定的) time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be 8_(friend). To reply to 9_ (express) like these, people just say Sure, that would be great! or Yes, thanks.

It prevents our view of some of lifes most striking sights: stars, planets, and even galaxies(银河系).“When I was a little boy, I loved the night sky. I remember looking up and the sky was filled with stars. I became an astronomer because I was amazed by their beauty,” says Robert Gent, “Now in most big cities kids cant see the stars like I did.”Normally, about 2,500 individual (单个的) stars are visible to the human eyes without using any special equipment. But because of light pollution, you actually see just 200 to 300 and fewer than a dozen from some cities. Only one in three Americans can see our own galaxy with the naked eyes. Those people live far away from the lights of big cities, office buildings, and shopping malls.Fortunately, theres an inexpensive and useful way. If we shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky, and use lower brightness levels, we can save big amounts of energy and keep the beauty of the night sky. Many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night, making sure enough shine for safety without creating much light pollution.Light pollution affects more than our view of the heavens and can harm wildlife. Migrating birds(候鸟) sometimes fly over cities and become confused by the brightness, flying in circles until they drop from exhaustion. Sea turtles need dark beaches for nesting and wont approach bright lights. Too much light at night may even affect human health. For all these reasons, researchers are working on ways to use lights only when and where they are truly needed. Everyone deserves to look up at the sky.1.
